Comments and predictions for Bolivia vs Chile: Brave victory

Latest information on Bolivia vs Chile forces

Midfielder Hector Cuellar was taken off at half-time against Venezuela, following a difficult first half in which he also scored an own goal in Bolivia's 2-0 defeat.

Miguel Terceros – who has scored five of Bolivia's 14 goals, accounting for 35.7% of the team's total – is expected to be the decisive factor in the upcoming match.

On the Chilean side, although they have no injuries after losing to Argentina, they will not have Arturo Vidal due to suspension after receiving enough yellow cards.

Eduardo Vargas did not play against Argentina, so Chile's attack will rely on Lucas Cepeda - who has directly participated in three goals for the team - to find opportunities against Bolivia.

Latest expected lineup for Bolivia vs Chile

Bolivia:

Viscarra; Medina, Haquin, Morales, Paniagua; Vaca, Villarroel, Villamil; Fernandez, Terceros, Chavez

Chile:

Cortes; Loyola, Maripan, Sierralta, Suazo; Altamirano, Echeverria, Pizarro; Cepeda, Sanchez, Osorio

Latest football commentary on Bolivia vs Chile

Bolivia has not participated in a World Cup since 1994, and to end their three-decade wait, “La Verde” must overcome a difficult journey in the final matches.

Although there is still a theoretical chance to enter the top 6, the 7-point gap with only 3 matches left shows that the door to continue is almost closed for coach Oscar Villegas and his team.

Bolivia are currently ranked 8th with 14 points, 4 points behind Venezuela – the 7th-placed team holding the intercontinental play-off spot – with only 9 maximum points left to win.

Although they can still overcome Venezuela – a team in good form – a streak of six recent winless matches in the South American qualifying round has dealt a heavy blow to Bolivia's hopes.

One of the four defeats in that run came against Venezuela this month – a result that left Bolivia needing to stage a comeback of at least five points in the final games to hold on to their slim hopes.

Meeting a Chilean team that no longer has much motivation could be a "spiritual medicine" for Bolivia, even though the opponent is also looking to end its poor streak of matches.

The victory over Venezuela in November 2024 was only the second time “La Roja” have taken all three points in this qualifying campaign; however, since then, they have suffered two defeats and a draw.

Chile's biggest problem is their poor goal-scoring ability – they failed to score in their last three qualifiers, and have also failed to score in five of their last six.

The 4-2 victory over Venezuela in November can be considered a "rare case" for coach Ricardo Gareca's team. Currently at the bottom of the CONMEBOL qualifying group with 9 defeats after 15 matches, Chile are clearly not highly rated before the upcoming encounter.

That view is well-founded, as “La Roja” has only earned 1 point after 7 away matches in the qualifying round, and has not scored a goal in the last 6 away matches.
